It is better to travel well than to arrive.

One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

It’s time to commit to finding the answer, to search for life beyond Earth. Mankind has a deep need to explore, to learn, to know. We also happen to be sociable creatures. It is important for us to know if we are alone in the dark.

What’s fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.

It’s not the destination that matters. It’s the change of scene.

One of the things that I have admired about India is the spiritualism of the people.

I came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.

When exploring London, you will come across lots of excitement by chance, so try to take everything in rather than just rushing around to all of the major tourist haunts.

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.

My desire was not to pass any island without taking possession, so that, one having been taken, the same may be said of all.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

Once you get into this great stream of history, you can’t get out.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. One discovers the new world. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than stand idly on the shore.

When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

We seem gradually to be groping toward an understanding of the world of subatomic particles, but we really do not know how far we have yet to go in this task.

I think my first thought on reaching the summit- of course, I was very, very pleased to be there, naturally – but my first thought was one of a little bit of surprise. I was a little bit surprised that here I was, Ed Hillary, on top of Mt. Everest. After all, this is the ambition of most mountaineers.

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.

I make good music for long journeys.

The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.

Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.

To be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I’d be… it’s really, you know, still fascinating for me.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.

Nine times out of ten, in the arts as in life, there is actually no truth to be discovered; there is only error to be exposed.

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.

Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.

Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.

The movement of search can only be from the known to the known, and all that the mind can do is to be aware that this movement will never uncover the unknown. Any movement on the part of the known is still within the field of the known.

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.

I’m really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I’m out; I’m asleep for takeoff.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

When you are younger, you want to do everything, and you go haywire.

In my case Pilgrim’s Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Man, I really like Vegas.

I shall make that trip. I shall go to Korea.

It’s a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It’s an interesting place to be. I recommend it.

To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.

When I arrived in Laos and found young Americans living there, out of free choice, I was surprised. After only a week, I began to have a sense of the appeal of the country and its people – along with despair about its future.

When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty – his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

I love Africa, and Ulusaba, our home in South Africa, is pretty special. It’s on a rocky hill overlooking the bush, and from your room, you can see lions stalking zebras by the waterhole.

I’ve been to Uganda and to North Korea and to Eritrea, countless horror spots around the world.

Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket – half a million dollars. It can be done.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
